How many Liverpool players are you able to squeeze inside your lineup this week?

Jurgen Klopp's side have secured two consecutive victories , with a red-hot striker in their French frontman going into a encounter with Wolves that are on course for an abysmal Premier League seasons in history.

If you've held onto a few of your AFCON transfers , and possess the budget to spend by replacing the sidelined Manchester United's playmaker, consequently Liverpool options must be your top priority.

This weekly selection is constructed using current Fantasy Premier League valuations to comply with a 100 million pound budget, as if using a Free Hit.

What Was the Performance of The Previous Selection?

Skipper Erling Haaland (32 points) and the productive pair of Bournemouth's forward (10 points) plus Hugo Ekitike propelled the selection to a respectable total – with a bonus a 10-point contribution from Fulham's defender as a substitute.

Our Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper & Defenders

David Raya, the Gunners, keeper, £6m – vs Brighton (H).

The North London side's backline experienced a minor wobble following the absence of Gabriel, but they have secured two clean sheets in their past four , boasting nine to their name with not even half the season gone.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have conceded in just a handful of matches at home this season. The strikes they conceded were scored by Erling Haaland, a spectacular strike from Richarlison , plus a surprise goal from Wolves' attacker.

Jurrien Timber (£6.5m) and Piero Hincapie (£5.5m), Arsenal – vs Brighton (H).

We're opting for a triple selection on the Arsenal defence.

As well as being the best defensive unit in FPL, with a clean sheet in more than half of their matches, they face a Roberto De Zerbi's side who have failed to score in two consecutive matches.

The South Coast club have a mere nine strikes across eight away games.

The Dutch defender remains a reliable option every week and has increased offensive potential operating as the full-back role.

The Ecuadorian has collected 'defcon' points in his past four starts, which included a pair of shutouts.

Virgil van Dijk, Liverpool, £5.9m – vs Wolves (H).

Managers would love six Liverpool players for this fixture if the rules permitted.

Gary O'Neil's team drew another blank once again in 17 games in a recent two-nil defeat at Molineux to Brentford.

They have only managed 9 goals this campaign, including a couple away from home. It represents one of the safest clean sheet prospect imaginable.

Omar Alderete, the Black Cats, £4m – vs Leeds (H).

Even with Leeds United's better offensive form – highlighted by their striker – the pick is a Sunderland clean sheet at home.

This would secure their third consecutive , with Alderete becoming the best value defensive pick. You can field him with assurance in most games, given his potential for 'defcon' returns.

Midfielders

Mason Mount, Manchester United, £5.9m – vs Newcastle (H).

The English midfielder will likely assume a bigger role at Manchester United in the next few games, due to Bruno Fernandes out injured.

In their last three matches, Erik ten Hag's team registered the highest xG across the Premier League by a comfortable distance – 8.78 against second-best Leeds' 5.68.

They face a Newcastle United side that has been poor on the road – managing one win in seven.

The former Chelsea man could well take over a large share of the injured star's creative responsibilities, especially on set-pieces, potentially operate behind the striker.

Florian Wirtz, the Reds, £8.1m – vs Wolverhampton Wanderers (H).

Wirtz is due a big haul and a home match against Wolves presenting a perfect scenario for it.

He has posted points in three of four recent games – a pair of assists and one defensive contribution display.

In that period he's made 10 chances, the most among all his teammates, while his xG totals 0.88.

Morgan Rogers, Villa, £7.2m – vs Chelsea (A).

With 30 points over two matches, the midfielder's current form is impossible to ignore.

He is Villa's main goal threat, who can producing a strike from minimal room inside the area.

An away trip to Stamford Bridge could be viewed as a tough proposition, but Villa have won at that ground in two of the last three campaigns.

Forwards

Hugo Ekitike (Captain), Liverpool, £8.9m – vs Wolves (H).

Because of his fixture, having no competition for his place, coupled with scored a five-goal haul in three games, Ekitike gets the captaincy for this round.

Erling Haaland, City, £15.1m – vs Forest (A).

There's no dropping the Norwegian goal machine, however with him having a more difficult away game this week, we are opting to look elsewhere with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
